    Generally speaking, moderate drinking can have serious effects on health, but excessive drinking or drinking while preparing for pregnancy can be very harmful. Especially for some men of childbearing age, excessive drinking will not only affect their health, but also cause great harm to sperm quality, so men should pay attention.

    Heavy drinking by men is not only detrimental to liver health, but can also damage sperm, leading to a decrease in male reproductive capacity. Because heavy drinking can lead to a decrease in male testosterone levels, and can also reduce the quality and quantity of sperm. When alcohol passes through, it can cause gonadal poisoning, seriously damage the Leydig cells of the testicles, inhibit the synthesis of testosterone, and thus cause a decrease in serum testosterone levels. Finally, men will suffer from loss of sexual desire and sperm abnormalities, and in severe cases, it can lead to male infertility.

    Men's drinking can mainly affect sperm motility, which makes it difficult to conceive. In addition, it can also affect the quality of sperm, which can lead to sperm deformities. It is easy to give birth to deformed and unhealthy babies. Finally, drinking can damage DNA and lead to the occurrence of cerebellum. It can be seen that alcohol is very harmful to childbirth.
